Answer:
m^2 = 35/9
Step-by-step explanation:
The line will be tangent to the ellipse where there is one point of intersection between the line and the ellipse. We can find that case by looking at the discriminant of the quadratic.
x^2 +9(mx +2)^2 = 1
x^2 +9(m^2x^2 +4mx +4) = 1
(9m^2 +1)x^2+36mx +35 = 0 . . . . subtract 1, collect terms
__
Then the discriminant is ...
(36m)^2 -4(9m^2 +1)(35)
We want it to be zero, so we have ...
1296m^2 -1260m^2 -140 = 0 . . . . eliminate parentheses
36m^2 = 140 . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . add 140
m^2 = 140/36 . . . . . . . . . . . . divide by 36
m^2 = 35/9
Answer:
The rectangle is 16*18
Step-by-step explanation:
The area of a rectangle is length * width and the perimeter is 2 times length * width
A = l*w
P = 2(l+w)
Replacing A and P
288 = l*w
68 = 2(l+w) => 34 = l+w => 34 - w = l
replacing l in the area
288 = (34 - w) w
w^2 - 34w + 288 = 0
(w - 16)(w - 18)
w = 16
w = 18
replacing in 34 - w = l
you get that when w = 16, l = 18 and when w = 18, l = 16
Answer:
I will say C, because tossing a coin twice has two outcomes. H is for heads while T is for heads. Tell me if I'm right.
